Peas & Carrots

After two weeks of school holidays I don't have much stitching to show so I thought I would show a lovely bundle of fabrics I bought instead. Do you remember the old range of fabric from American Jane called Peas and Carrots (see pic below)? I had never purchased any when it had been available (due to available funds at the time), and was always sad to miss out on at least some of this delightful range. Recently I stumbled across a lovely Etsy shop called Claydeal and this lovely pile of yard cuts made its way to my home.

The lovely owner of Claydeal sent me a larger than ordered amount of the stunning red pez, and even threw in some gorgeous green and blue pez scrap!

I have no plans for this fabric yet, and do hope to find a little more pez fabric in the other colours. I have always particularly adored this sweet pea in blue and orange (below) and I'm thrilled to now own some.

And for something that rhymes with peas....while out walking this afternoon, DH and I came across a small bush that had been almost completely overtaken by...bees!!

This picture isn't fabulous (we only had a phone camera with us), however you may understand why I didn't want to get too close to this volatile, buzzing, dripping, swarm. I wandered back to the park later to get a better photo and they had disappeared, I do hope they don't come visiting my house!
